Ex-Enugu APC chairman donates property for Tinubu-Shettima presidential campaign project

Immediate past Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, has renovated and donated his personal residential building in Enugu to the Tinubu/Shetima campaign project.

He explained that the furnished building, located at Independence Layout, would serve as the Tinubu/Shetima independence campaign office and call centre. He noted that it would be used to reach out to voters in all nooks and crannies of the state.

Nwoye said the gesture was part of his personal support and contribution to the APC’s presidential flag bearer, Bola Tinubu, and his running mate.

He added: “This office will enable us run a formidable campaign when the time comes.”

Addressing newsmen at the campaign office yesterday, Nwoye stated that the party’s presidential hopeful has the capacity to win the poll, urging Enugu and South East Electorate to ignore religious and ethnic sentiments and embrace Tinubu.

He added that the campaign office will also serve as a political vehicle to market, to the electorate, the huge infrastructure and human capital projects the APC led federal government, under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari, has executed in the State and South East since the party took over mantle of leadership of the country in 2015.

“At the appropriate time, we will talk to people about the score card of the APC led federal government in the South East. We have projects such as the Enugu-Onitsha Express way, Enugu-Port Harcourt express way, second Niger bridge, establishment of several higher institutions in the zone, several human capital intervention programmes, among others,” he said.

Nwoye, however, added that though Nigeria citizens may have been facing challenges under the APC led federal government, especially on the issue of insecurity and high inflation, Nigeria is not immune to the development as other countries of the world have similar challenges.

He stressed that it is not enough reason for people to write off achievements recorded by the Buhari-led government in various sectors of the country’s economy.
